C'mon, be fair...list all 56.
Too Much Information Prize: Mr. Kerry and his campaign, for indignantly disputing Mr. Bush's assertion that he had passed only five bills in his Senate career.
"Once again, the president is misleading America," he said. "I have passed 56 individual bills that I have personally written."
His press office followed up with a list of the 56 legislative achievements, none of which brought to mind Daniel Webster. Among the highlights:
- a "joint resolution designating Oct. 22 through 28, 1989, as 'World Population Awareness Week' ''
- a "resolution amending the Standing Rules of the Senate to change the name of the Committee on Small Business to the 'Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship'
- a "bill to re-designate the federal building located at 380 Trapelo Road in Waltham, MA as the 'Frederick C. Murphy Federal Center,' "
- and, lest we forget, "a resolution to recognize the accomplishments of Lewis A. Shattuck."
C'mon, be fair...list all 56.
Who is Lewis A. Shattuck?
Some guy.
You can bet he's a good 'ol boy Democrat!Who is Lewis A. Shattuck?
RECOGNITION OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF LEWIS A. SHATTUCK (Senate - January 24, 1991)
[Page: S1211]
Mr. MITC . Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of Senate Resolution 18, commending the accomplishments of Lewis A. Shattuck upon his retirement as president of the Smaller Business Association of New England, submitted earlier today by Senators Kerry and Kennedy of Massachusetts.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:
A resolution (S. Res. 18) to recognize the accomplishments of Lewis A. Shattuck.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the immediate consideration of the resolution?
There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the resolution.
TRIBUTE TO LEWIS A. SHATTUCK
Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, I rise today, along with my distinguished colleague Senator Kennedy, to honor and pay special tribute to Mr. Lewis A. Shattuck. After 25 years with the Smaller Business Association of New England [SBANE], Lew Shattuck has retired as president of the organization. His accomplishments and contributions to the small business community have distinguished Lew Shattuck as one of the nation's leading small business advocates.
During his tenure at SBANE, Lew Shattuck was one of the Nation's most effective voices for small business. In the early 1980's, he was instrumental in securing passage of Small Business Innovation Research Act, and most recently, lent his support for the new White House Small Business Conference set for 1994. I believe these achievements help illustrate perhaps Lew Shattuck's most significant accomplishment--that small businesses can and should play an active role advancing their concerns and interests in the public policy process.
It is, therefore, with great honor that I submit today a resolution to recognize the accomplishments of this small business champion and to express the gra ude of the United States Senate for the important contributions he has made to the economic health of our Nation. Lew Shattuck's achievements serve as a reminder to entrepreneurs to strive and work diligently to make the voice of small business heard.
TRIBUTE TO LEWIS A. SHATTUCK--LEADERSHIP FOR SMALL BUSINESS
Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, it is a privilege to pay tribute to Lew Shattuck for his many years of outstanding leadership in the Smaller Business Association of New England. SBANE has benefited immensely from Mr. Shattuck's dedicated service and inspiring guidance for the past quarter century, and all of us who know him are proud of his many contributions.
Throughout his service, Lew has been a strong, respected and eloquent voice for small business in Massachusetts and the Nation. As an organizer of the White House Conference on Small Business, as a participant in the National Advisory Council of the Small Business Administration, and in many other ways, he has been one of the Nation's most respected and effective champions of small business. He has played a central role in helping Congress to address the priorities and concerns of this essential sector of the Nation's economy.
Although Lew Shattuck will leave SBANE at the end of this month, I am confident that his ability and commitment will be available to guide us in the future. Small business continues to be the backbone of New England and the Nation. All of us who have worked with Lew have valued both his leadership and his friendship, and we wish him well in the years ahead.
